Soraluce & Danobat — CNC Machine Services

Danobat grinders are particularly well-suited for mold & die making and automotive industries, where tight tolerances and consistent surface finishes are critical. Their range of grinding configurations — cylindrical, centerless, vertical, and OD/ID — allows manufacturers to address a wide variety of component geometries and production requirements.

Yes. WSM Technology operates a Demonstration Center in Rootstown, Ohio where prospective customers can evaluate machines firsthand. Test cuts can be arranged to prove out new technologies, compare machines against existing equipment, or conduct time studies to quantify performance improvements before making a capital investment.

Cylindrical grinding supports the workpiece between centers or in a chuck, making it ideal for precision shafts, bores, and stepped components. Centerless grinding eliminates the need for centers or fixtures, using a regulating wheel to control workpiece position, which enables higher throughput for round components like pins, rollers, and tubing in high-volume production.

OD/ID grinding, also known as external/internal grinding, is used to precision-grind both the outer diameter and inner bore of a workpiece — often in a single setup. This is particularly valuable in mold & die and automotive applications where concentricity between internal and external features is critical, reducing setup time and improving overall dimensional accuracy.

Vertical grinding orients the spindle vertically, allowing gravity to assist workpiece clamping and reducing spindle deflection. This configuration is ideal for large, heavy, or short workpieces such as rings, flanges, and brake discs. Vertical grinders typically offer a smaller floor footprint and are well-suited for chuck-based operations requiring high rigidity and roundness accuracy.
